00:40.000 --> 00:49.000
The discovery in a builder's excavation at Knightsbridge of fossil ape bones five million years old is followed by something more sinister.

00:49.000 --> 00:58.000
What first appears to be an unexploded bomb at a deeper level is investigated by Professor Bernard Quatermass and his new colleague, Colonel Breen.

00:58.000 --> 01:03.000
Another ape skull is found intact inside the thing itself.

01:03.000 --> 01:12.000
While tests show that the clay contains residual radioactivity, later estimated to be five million years old.

01:12.000 --> 01:20.000
Meanwhile, struck by a fancy, Quatermass visits an empty house above the site that is reputedly haunted.

01:20.000 --> 01:27.000
And neighbours who can tell him about the frightening sounds and apparitions there thirty years ago.

01:27.000 --> 01:31.000
In the deepened pit, the mysterious hull is laid bare.

01:31.000 --> 01:36.000
Inside it, a compartment is found sealed off by a solid bulkhead.

01:36.000 --> 01:43.000
And certain markings on this are identified by Dr. Roney as a pentacle used in ancient magic.

01:48.000 --> 01:50.000
Potter, give me a hand inside.

01:50.000 --> 01:52.000
I don't know, I'm sorry, it's a slippery glass.

01:52.000 --> 02:06.000
It was a kind of figure.

02:06.000 --> 02:28.000
It went through the wall.

02:28.000 --> 02:31.000
What's the matter with the man, is he ill?

02:31.000 --> 02:32.000
He may be.

02:32.000 --> 02:34.000
Alright, Wes, take it easy, lad.

02:34.000 --> 02:37.000
I thought it was the wall shining.

02:37.000 --> 02:40.000
Then it moved and come at me.

02:40.000 --> 02:41.000
And went.

02:41.000 --> 02:42.000
And went.

02:42.000 --> 02:43.000
In the house.

02:43.000 --> 02:47.000
Yeah.

02:47.000 --> 02:48.000
It's a little westy.

02:48.000 --> 02:50.000
He's got the odours.

02:50.000 --> 02:51.000
Roney.

02:51.000 --> 02:52.000
What did he see?

02:52.000 --> 02:53.000
Nothing.

02:53.000 --> 02:55.000
Confined space got him.

02:55.000 --> 02:56.000
Claustrophobia.

02:56.000 --> 02:59.000
A man like that should never have been on the squad.

02:59.000 --> 03:02.000
Roney, just now you said something to me about those marks.

03:02.000 --> 03:04.000
Well, they form a pentacle.

03:04.000 --> 03:05.000
It could just be coincidence.

03:05.000 --> 03:07.000
You said they had something to do with black magic?

03:07.000 --> 03:08.000
Yes.

03:08.000 --> 03:10.000
Now, could he have heard?

03:10.000 --> 03:12.000
He was inside, I don't see how.

03:12.000 --> 03:17.000
Nor do I.

03:17.000 --> 03:20.000
Look up there, what are those?

03:20.000 --> 03:22.000
Good heavens!

03:22.000 --> 03:24.000
They're all over it.

03:24.000 --> 03:46.000
It's cabalistic science.

03:46.000 --> 03:47.000
Corporal.

03:47.000 --> 03:48.000
Sir.

03:48.000 --> 03:50.000
Dissuade Picks and start digging.

03:50.000 --> 03:51.000
I want to go down another three feet.

03:51.000 --> 03:53.000
Yes, sir.

03:53.000 --> 03:55.000
You heard, boys.

03:55.000 --> 03:57.000
Keep them busy, don't give them time to think.

03:57.000 --> 04:03.000
Psychology.

04:03.000 --> 04:04.000
Come on, West.

04:04.000 --> 04:05.000
Wake up, lad.

04:05.000 --> 04:06.000
Did he hit his head, sir?

04:06.000 --> 04:07.000
I don't think so, no.

04:07.000 --> 04:08.000
How is he?

04:08.000 --> 04:09.000
He just bust out.

04:09.000 --> 04:11.000
Funny thing, shock.

04:11.000 --> 04:12.000
Now, try this brandy.

04:12.000 --> 04:22.000
I always keep a drop in case of accidents.

04:22.000 --> 04:23.000
It's all right.

04:23.000 --> 04:24.000
West!

04:24.000 --> 04:25.000
Pull yourself together, lad.

04:25.000 --> 04:26.000
No, Sergeant.

04:26.000 --> 04:31.000
Give me a moment.

04:31.000 --> 04:36.000
Now, what did you see?

04:36.000 --> 04:38.000
I don't know.

04:38.000 --> 04:43.000
You said a figure.

04:43.000 --> 04:47.000
He was little, like a dwarf.

04:47.000 --> 04:55.000
A dwarf?

04:55.000 --> 04:59.000
It went crooked.

04:59.000 --> 05:01.000
Horrible.

05:01.000 --> 05:03.000
I don't know.

05:03.000 --> 05:04.000
Just horrible.

05:04.000 --> 05:06.000
Was its head tucked underneath its arms?

05:06.000 --> 05:07.000
Shut up!

05:07.000 --> 05:08.000
I didn't see it, sir.

05:08.000 --> 05:09.000
I did.

05:09.000 --> 05:10.000
Very well.

05:10.000 --> 05:11.000
Very well.

05:11.000 --> 05:13.000
The figure was small, he said.

05:13.000 --> 05:16.000
Like a monkey or a dwarf.

05:16.000 --> 05:19.000
It seemed to cross the room and go through the wall.

05:19.000 --> 05:21.000
What are you reading?

05:21.000 --> 05:23.000
A newspaper report.

05:23.000 --> 05:27.000
The Hobs Lane Ghost, June the 1st, 1927.

05:27.000 --> 05:28.000
What?

05:28.000 --> 05:29.000
Now, did you know about that?

05:29.000 --> 05:31.000
Had you heard of it?

05:31.000 --> 05:32.000
No.

05:32.000 --> 05:35.000
No, I never...

05:35.000 --> 05:40.000
1927?

05:40.000 --> 05:46.000
They saw it then!

05:46.000 --> 05:48.000
What now, sir?

05:48.000 --> 05:50.000
Well, get him away.

05:50.000 --> 05:52.000
He'd better go sick for a few days.

05:52.000 --> 05:54.000
I'll write a note to his M.R.

05:54.000 --> 05:55.000
Oh, and, Sergeant.

05:55.000 --> 05:57.000
Yes, sir?

05:57.000 --> 05:59.000
He'd better not talk to the other men.

05:59.000 --> 06:05.000
Very good, sir.

06:05.000 --> 06:12.000
Something here, sir.

06:12.000 --> 06:13.000
Something hard.

06:13.000 --> 06:14.000
Yeah.

06:14.000 --> 06:15.000
Smooth.

06:15.000 --> 06:19.000
Like the other stuff.

06:19.000 --> 06:20.000
Gray.

06:20.000 --> 06:21.000
Shiny.

06:21.000 --> 06:24.000
This clay's soft here.

06:24.000 --> 06:26.000
It's all that water we've been using, sir.

06:26.000 --> 06:27.000
Yes, I can feel an edge.

06:27.000 --> 06:28.000
Curling.

06:28.000 --> 06:29.000
Where's Captain Potter?

06:29.000 --> 06:30.000
Oh, he's coming now, sir.

06:30.000 --> 06:35.000
I've set that man off sick, sir.

06:35.000 --> 06:40.000
Well, what's this?

06:40.000 --> 06:44.000
I believe we found the cover to that hatch opening.

06:44.000 --> 06:47.000
The edge is screw-threaded, thin and coarse.

06:47.000 --> 06:49.000
Just like the opening.

06:49.000 --> 06:50.000
Yes.

06:50.000 --> 06:54.000
Then this must have unscrewed from the inside.

06:54.000 --> 06:55.000
Corporal.

06:55.000 --> 06:56.000
Sir?

06:56.000 --> 06:57.000
Get it clear, quickly.

06:57.000 --> 07:04.000
You can use it for testing.

07:04.000 --> 07:09.000
People in neighboring houses told the same story.

07:09.000 --> 07:15.000
Said, Mr. Parker at number 15, there have always been bad tales about Hobbs Lane, but I never bothered about them till now.

07:15.000 --> 07:20.000
I was born in this street, and I recollect my parents having stories about ghosts.

07:20.000 --> 07:23.000
It was something over a hundred years ago.

07:23.000 --> 07:30.000
Cases of alleged haunting have been reported before in Hobbs Lane, notably in the 18th century.

07:30.000 --> 07:32.000
Any comments, Renner?

07:32.000 --> 07:41.000
Well, I don't usually at this time of day, but...

07:41.000 --> 08:05.000
Well, that should be enough.

08:05.000 --> 08:08.000
No effect.

08:08.000 --> 08:22.000
It must have.

08:22.000 --> 08:23.000
I don't understand it.

08:23.000 --> 08:24.000
It's not even warm.

08:24.000 --> 08:25.000
The burner's on it for a full five minutes.

08:25.000 --> 08:27.000
I hold the same spot all the time.

08:27.000 --> 08:28.000
I know that.

08:28.000 --> 08:30.000
Well, look, do you want me to try again, sir?

08:30.000 --> 08:33.000
Not with that, no.

08:33.000 --> 08:36.000
It's a good stout door.

08:36.000 --> 08:43.000
Ceramic material of some kind, resistant to heat up to over 3,000 degrees, harder than diamond.

08:43.000 --> 08:45.000
That's what every rocket engineer's been searching for.

08:45.000 --> 08:49.000
A heat-proof casing to get through the Earth's atmosphere.

08:49.000 --> 08:51.000
What are you trying to say?

08:51.000 --> 08:54.000
You think the Germans made it in 1940 and then lost the secret?

08:54.000 --> 08:55.000
Ask them.

08:55.000 --> 08:56.000
Ask von Braun.

08:56.000 --> 09:06.000
Go on, why don't you?

09:06.000 --> 09:08.000
What's the muffin up to?

09:08.000 --> 09:12.000
Gonna open it up with his little pocket knife.

09:12.000 --> 09:15.000
Funny if he blows us all up.

09:15.000 --> 09:17.000
Cut it out, Gibson.

09:17.000 --> 09:20.000
You think he knows what he's doing, Sarge?

09:20.000 --> 09:22.000
He doesn't.

09:22.000 --> 09:27.000
None of them do this time.

09:53.000 --> 10:05.000
Breen, look at this.

10:05.000 --> 10:08.000
One of these circles is etched more deeply than the others.

10:08.000 --> 10:10.000
This one, the large one.

10:10.000 --> 10:11.000
Let me see.

10:11.000 --> 10:15.000
Here, use this.

10:15.000 --> 10:17.000
Yeah.

10:17.000 --> 10:18.000
I wonder...

10:18.000 --> 10:19.000
Another opening?

10:19.000 --> 10:21.000
If it could be unscrewed...

10:21.000 --> 10:22.000
There's nothing to get a purchase on.

10:22.000 --> 10:23.000
Feel it's like glass.

10:23.000 --> 10:26.000
Well, if we just had one small hole, that would do to start it.

10:26.000 --> 10:28.000
Diamond won't cut it, we know that.

10:28.000 --> 10:29.000
Well, we could try borism.

10:29.000 --> 10:30.000
Borism.

10:30.000 --> 10:31.000
Well, it's several times harder.

10:31.000 --> 10:34.000
Could you get hold of a drill with a borism bit?

10:34.000 --> 10:35.000
I don't know.

10:35.000 --> 10:36.000
You mean bringing in a civilian operator?

10:36.000 --> 10:40.000
No, why not?

10:40.000 --> 10:44.000
If I could get hold of a reliable man who'd keep his mouth shut...

10:44.000 --> 10:45.000
Captain Potter?

10:45.000 --> 10:47.000
Sir?

10:47.000 --> 10:55.000
I don't want any scares started.

10:55.000 --> 10:57.000
Now listen, listen.

10:57.000 --> 11:00.000
A thing like this ape man story can't just fizzle out.

11:00.000 --> 11:01.000
But it has.

11:01.000 --> 11:02.000
On everybody.

11:02.000 --> 11:05.000
But it mustn't be led to.

11:05.000 --> 11:09.000
And it isn't a heap of the good squatting humbly outside a police barrier.

11:09.000 --> 11:11.000
Unexploded bomb.

11:11.000 --> 11:12.000
What do you want me to do?

11:12.000 --> 11:15.000
Rush the barrier, elbow them aside while they're taking the fuses out?

11:15.000 --> 11:16.000
No.

11:16.000 --> 11:18.000
One, that isn't the story.

11:18.000 --> 11:20.000
And two, I don't believe it.

11:20.000 --> 11:21.000
Why not, Jack?

11:21.000 --> 11:23.000
It doesn't feel right.

11:23.000 --> 11:24.000
Don't start having hunches.

11:24.000 --> 11:26.000
Leave that to the Bruins.

11:26.000 --> 11:27.000
It must be a bomb.

11:27.000 --> 11:28.000
Look at the gear they brought in.

11:28.000 --> 11:30.000
Look, look, let's stick to the point.

11:30.000 --> 11:33.000
One minute, it's all the greatest discovery of the age.

11:33.000 --> 11:35.000
Ape men, five million years old.

11:35.000 --> 11:37.000
And the next minute, not a peep.

11:37.000 --> 11:41.000
And where's our vociferous friend, Dr. Matthew Roney, for instance?

11:41.000 --> 11:42.000
I can't find him.

11:42.000 --> 11:43.000
Tried?

11:43.000 --> 11:44.000
Yes.

11:44.000 --> 11:45.000
He's not at the museum.

11:45.000 --> 11:46.000
Where?

11:46.000 --> 11:47.000
Here.

11:47.000 --> 11:48.000
What?

11:48.000 --> 11:49.000
What?

11:49.000 --> 11:50.000
Where?

11:50.000 --> 11:51.000
I got him this morning.

11:51.000 --> 11:52.000
Yes, just going through the barrier.

11:52.000 --> 11:54.000
It's not your best, George, but it is Roney.

11:54.000 --> 11:56.000
Who's there with him?

11:56.000 --> 11:57.000
I don't know.

11:57.000 --> 11:58.000
George?

11:58.000 --> 11:59.000
I don't know, it's got me.

12:04.000 --> 12:06.000
Hello, Jacko.

12:06.000 --> 12:07.000
Chaps.

12:07.000 --> 12:08.000
Uh-huh.

12:08.000 --> 12:09.000
What's funny?

12:09.000 --> 12:10.000
Nothing's funny.

12:10.000 --> 12:13.000
You all look so glum, I thought you must be secretly splitting yourselves.

12:13.000 --> 12:15.000
Or is it sad lasciviousness?

12:15.000 --> 12:17.000
George, get something dirty?

12:17.000 --> 12:19.000
It's ape men.

12:19.000 --> 12:20.000
Oh, ape men.

12:20.000 --> 12:22.000
I'm sorry.

12:22.000 --> 12:25.000
Jacko, I came to beg help.

12:25.000 --> 12:28.000
One of the Bruins' glittering ideas.

12:28.000 --> 12:30.000
James Fullilove investigates.

12:30.000 --> 12:33.000
Tearing into angry young men or sex in the coffee bar.

12:33.000 --> 12:34.000
No, James.

12:34.000 --> 12:35.000
Now, all I need is a couple of...

12:35.000 --> 12:36.000
I'm in conference.

12:36.000 --> 12:37.000
Conference?

12:37.000 --> 12:38.000
With these two?

12:38.000 --> 12:41.000
All right, lend it some tone.

12:41.000 --> 12:43.000
Do you know who that is?

12:43.000 --> 12:44.000
The fellow with the glasses?

12:44.000 --> 12:46.000
No, not him, the other one.

12:46.000 --> 12:47.000
You don't mean...

12:47.000 --> 12:49.000
That's quite a mess, of course.

12:49.000 --> 12:51.000
Our old pal, the Professor.

12:51.000 --> 12:54.000
Missing from the papers of late.

12:54.000 --> 12:56.000
What's he doing there?

12:58.000 --> 13:00.000
I know that face.

13:00.000 --> 13:02.000
Big brass, war office guided missiles, got it.

13:02.000 --> 13:04.000
Breen, Colonel Breen.

13:04.000 --> 13:07.000
Unexploded bomb.

13:07.000 --> 13:08.000
Jacko.

13:08.000 --> 13:10.000
Let me in on this, will you?

13:10.000 --> 13:11.000
What did I say?

13:11.000 --> 13:12.000
Can you spare the time?

13:12.000 --> 13:14.000
Number one in my series.

13:14.000 --> 13:18.000
James Fullilove investigates the eight men of Knightsbridge.

13:18.000 --> 13:19.000
Do you want him?

13:19.000 --> 13:21.000
Better not.

13:21.000 --> 13:22.000
No reflection on you, George,

13:22.000 --> 13:24.000
but perhaps one of those little spy cameras?

13:24.000 --> 13:26.000
I don't see to it.

13:26.000 --> 13:39.000
Quate passe.

13:39.000 --> 13:45.000
I reckon this will cut through pretty well anything that exists.

13:45.000 --> 13:48.000
I did steal a plate with it, six inches thick, just like that.

13:48.000 --> 13:50.000
Thought it was legal, bloke shot in the strong room.

13:50.000 --> 13:52.000
I got him out.

13:52.000 --> 13:54.000
Secret job, like this one.

13:54.000 --> 13:58.000
And I'm glad you don't talk about it.

13:58.000 --> 13:59.000
What's in behind it?

13:59.000 --> 14:01.000
Anything dangerous?

14:01.000 --> 14:02.000
Probably not.

14:02.000 --> 14:04.000
It's all right, I'm insured.

14:04.000 --> 14:05.000
You insured, sir?

14:05.000 --> 14:07.000
It's a good thing to be insured.

14:07.000 --> 14:09.000
At least it cheers you up.

14:13.000 --> 14:15.000
How's she running now, Sergeant?

14:15.000 --> 14:18.000
She's okay now, sir, just that bit of bother at the start.

14:18.000 --> 14:21.000
Better than use this than the public juice supply, sir,

14:21.000 --> 14:22.000
just in case of.

14:22.000 --> 14:24.000
Yes.

14:27.000 --> 14:28.000
Here, what are the men up to?

14:28.000 --> 14:30.000
Another brew up?

14:31.000 --> 14:32.000
Well, I let them, sir.

14:32.000 --> 14:59.000
It's getting perishing cold down here.

14:59.000 --> 15:00.000
Can I help?

15:00.000 --> 15:02.000
You really ought to be on your way, but...

15:02.000 --> 15:03.000
Well, thanks very much.

15:03.000 --> 15:05.000
It's rather awkward with my left hand.

15:05.000 --> 15:06.000
What did this?

15:06.000 --> 15:07.000
Well, I don't know.

15:07.000 --> 15:09.000
The Sergeant's got a touch of it, too.

15:09.000 --> 15:12.000
It looks like slight frostbite, but it can't be.

15:12.000 --> 15:14.000
I mean, that thing doesn't feel...

15:14.000 --> 15:15.000
Put him, sir!

15:15.000 --> 15:16.000
What did you just do?

15:16.000 --> 15:17.000
I'm sorry.

15:17.000 --> 15:18.000
Oh, it's all right, honey, it's everybody out now.

15:18.000 --> 15:19.000
Sergeant, get the men off.

15:19.000 --> 15:20.000
Very good, sir.

15:24.000 --> 15:25.000
Ah, Dr. Roney.

15:25.000 --> 15:28.000
Will you leave now, please, and take Miss Judd with you?

15:28.000 --> 15:29.000
Can't we wait?

15:29.000 --> 15:30.000
Yes, but outside the barrier.

15:38.000 --> 15:39.000
Is that right?

15:39.000 --> 15:40.000
Yes, that's it.

15:40.000 --> 15:41.000
Just inside the main circle.

15:41.000 --> 15:42.000
Get the most leverage.

15:42.000 --> 15:44.000
Right, clear for action, sir.

15:44.000 --> 15:45.000
Right.

15:45.000 --> 15:47.000
What's the matter with your hand?

15:47.000 --> 15:48.000
Oh, it's nothing serious, sir.

15:49.000 --> 15:51.000
Here, is Professor Quatermustache?

15:52.000 --> 15:54.000
I've asked him not to.

15:54.000 --> 15:55.000
I could make it an order.

15:55.000 --> 15:58.000
I'm staying in here.

16:03.000 --> 16:05.000
Right, all out, sir.

16:05.000 --> 16:06.000
All out, sir.

16:10.000 --> 16:11.000
Come on, come on.

16:11.000 --> 16:12.000
Do you mind, sir?

16:12.000 --> 16:13.000
Thank you, miss.

16:13.000 --> 16:34.000
And you, mate.

16:34.000 --> 16:35.000
What are they playing at?

16:35.000 --> 16:44.000
Switch on!

16:44.000 --> 16:46.000
Right, here we go.

16:46.000 --> 16:49.000
Here we go.

16:49.000 --> 17:04.000
Try again.

17:20.000 --> 17:25.000
No, no, no, no.

17:30.000 --> 17:31.000
There's nothing.

17:31.000 --> 17:32.000
There's a minor mark.

17:41.000 --> 17:42.000
They're in trouble.

17:42.000 --> 17:43.000
Come on.

17:43.000 --> 17:46.000
What happened?

17:46.000 --> 17:48.000
He's shaken.

17:48.000 --> 17:49.000
We all are.

17:49.000 --> 17:53.000
Green, it was the vibration.

17:53.000 --> 17:57.000
Some freak acoustic effect.

17:57.000 --> 17:58.000
It must have been green.

17:58.000 --> 18:04.000
Sir, it's probably best to sing for him.

18:04.000 --> 18:06.000
Well, are you all right?

18:06.000 --> 18:09.000
Yes, I think so.

18:09.000 --> 18:14.000
We had no luck with the drill.

18:14.000 --> 18:15.000
It wouldn't...

18:15.000 --> 18:22.000
It would get some of Rony's breath.

18:22.000 --> 18:47.000
Sir.

18:47.000 --> 18:48.000
Katie...

18:48.000 --> 18:49.000
It's stopped now.

18:49.000 --> 18:55.000
Do you know what it meant, that noise?

18:55.000 --> 19:00.240
There's something wrong down there.

19:00.240 --> 19:08.760
Isn't there anything we can do?

19:08.760 --> 19:10.080
It's strict orders, ma'am.

19:10.080 --> 19:11.720
Look, they know what they're up to.

19:11.720 --> 19:12.720
Do they?

19:12.720 --> 19:13.720
What's going on down there?

19:13.720 --> 19:14.720
I don't know.

19:14.720 --> 19:15.720
They're in trouble.

19:15.720 --> 19:17.640
Who are you?

19:17.640 --> 19:18.640
My name's Fullerlove.

19:18.640 --> 19:19.640
I'm a reporter.

19:19.640 --> 19:20.640
Oh, not now.

19:20.640 --> 19:21.640
See the signs?

19:21.640 --> 19:22.640
No, no, further, please.

19:22.640 --> 19:23.640
I'm press.

19:23.640 --> 19:24.640
Tell me, who's down there?

19:24.640 --> 19:25.640
What are they trying to do?

19:25.640 --> 19:26.640
Quaidermas!

19:26.640 --> 19:27.640
A mind out there, you get back.

19:27.640 --> 19:28.640
Is everything all right?

19:28.640 --> 19:29.640
Professor Quaidermas!

19:29.640 --> 19:30.640
Rony, you recognize the pentacle down there and those other markings.

19:30.640 --> 19:31.640
Tell me, how much do you know about that sort of thing, occult practice?

19:31.640 --> 19:32.640
Just a little.

19:32.640 --> 19:33.640
In my work, I...

19:33.640 --> 19:34.640
Well, I want you to come with me.

19:34.640 --> 19:35.640
Professor!

19:35.640 --> 19:36.640
Potter, tell Colonel Breen not to attempt any more of this.

19:36.640 --> 19:37.640
I'm not going to.

19:37.640 --> 19:38.640
I'm not going to.

19:38.640 --> 19:39.640
I'm not going to.

19:39.640 --> 19:40.640
I'm not going to.

19:40.640 --> 19:41.640
I'm not going to.

19:41.640 --> 19:50.760
Potwell, I'll arrange for you another interview with that king or that Church basketball player,

19:50.760 --> 19:59.120
if you find he's well-mprepared.

19:59.120 --> 20:01.580
Cut.

20:01.580 --> 20:07.820
Right, cut.

20:07.820 --> 20:26.380
Alarming noises and spectral appearances, September 1762.

20:26.380 --> 20:32.820
Our informant further states that grievous sounds emanating from the very earth have

20:32.820 --> 20:39.580
so affrighted certain fellows employed in the digging of a well that one is like to

20:39.580 --> 20:40.580
die mad.

20:40.580 --> 20:41.580
Digging a well?

20:41.580 --> 20:42.580
Do any of the others mention that?

20:42.580 --> 20:43.580
Not that I've noticed.

20:43.580 --> 20:44.580
Finding what you want, sir?

20:44.580 --> 20:45.580
Yes, some, some.

20:45.580 --> 20:52.940
Three pamphlets are your best source for this sort of thing.

20:52.940 --> 20:56.540
Nonsense stories and wild rumors.

20:56.540 --> 20:58.180
Amazing what they'd believe in those days.

20:58.180 --> 20:59.180
Yes, yes.

20:59.180 --> 21:00.180
Oh, more of them, thank you.

21:00.180 --> 21:17.260
Rony, Rony, surely it's possible for, well, ghosts, let's call them that, to be phenomena

21:17.260 --> 21:22.260
that were badly observed and wrongly interpreted.

21:22.260 --> 21:28.700
One inhabitant of Hobbs Lane doth assert he hath several times described the apparition

21:28.700 --> 21:32.460
of an hideous goblin and once several.

21:32.460 --> 21:33.460
Several?

21:33.460 --> 21:36.780
And that this place is long notorious for weird happenings.

21:36.780 --> 21:37.780
Even in 1762?

21:37.780 --> 21:38.780
Hobbs Lane.

21:38.780 --> 21:42.820
Notice they all spell it H-O-B.

21:42.820 --> 21:45.580
Oh, spelling was pretty rough in those days.

21:45.580 --> 21:48.060
Where have I seen that before?

21:48.060 --> 21:52.060
Of course, there were two nameplates on that street.

21:52.060 --> 21:55.060
The recent one spells it with two Bs, like, like that, like cricketer.

21:55.060 --> 21:56.660
Not the other one.

21:56.660 --> 21:59.460
Oh, what about it?

21:59.460 --> 22:02.540
Hobb was one of the familiar names for the devil.

22:02.540 --> 22:05.340
Fuller, love.

22:05.340 --> 22:07.860
Excuse me.

22:07.860 --> 22:12.260
We haven't met for some time.

22:12.260 --> 22:13.260
You followed us here?

22:13.260 --> 22:16.780
Of course, from Hobbs Lane.

22:16.780 --> 22:18.780
Tell me, Professor, what have you found down there?

22:18.780 --> 22:21.340
I've no statement to make, Rony.

22:21.340 --> 22:22.340
Thank you very much.

22:22.340 --> 22:23.340
We've seen all we wanted.

22:23.340 --> 22:24.340
Where next?

22:24.340 --> 22:26.340
Well, we should, we should get some earlier evidence.

22:26.340 --> 22:28.180
Westminster Abbey Archives, I think.

22:28.180 --> 22:29.180
Let's go.

22:29.180 --> 22:30.180
Now look here, fuller, love.

22:30.180 --> 22:31.180
All right, sir.

22:31.180 --> 22:40.180
If you want to have another bash, I'm ready.

22:40.180 --> 22:41.180
Good man.

22:41.180 --> 22:42.180
Do you think we ought, sir?

22:42.180 --> 22:43.260
Quatermass particularly requested it.

22:43.260 --> 22:44.260
Is he in charge here?

22:44.260 --> 22:46.460
Well, no, sir, but he seemed to be on the track of something.

22:46.460 --> 22:47.860
Oh, did he?

22:47.860 --> 22:52.180
Well, I'm inclined to agree with him about one thing.

22:52.180 --> 22:54.180
What shook us all up was an acoustic disturbance.

22:54.180 --> 22:58.180
It was caused by the shape of that interior, all that polished surface.

22:58.180 --> 23:00.180
Now look here, Potter.

23:00.180 --> 23:01.180
Sir?

23:01.180 --> 23:02.780
This time I'm going to blank it out to some.

23:02.780 --> 23:04.500
Have you got any sacks or sandbags?

23:04.500 --> 23:05.500
Yes, Sergeant.

23:05.500 --> 23:06.500
Very good, sir.

23:06.500 --> 23:07.500
Potter?

23:07.500 --> 23:17.460
A sack's just coming along, sir.

23:17.460 --> 23:18.460
We may not need them.

23:18.460 --> 23:19.460
Is Slatham still here?

23:19.460 --> 23:20.460
Well, yes, sir, Slatham.

23:20.460 --> 23:26.700
You said your drill took no effect.

23:26.700 --> 23:29.620
I'm afraid that's right, sir, but next time.

23:29.620 --> 23:30.620
Look here.

23:30.620 --> 23:31.620
A hole.

23:31.620 --> 23:34.620
But I never made that.

23:34.620 --> 23:37.620
Are you sure?

23:37.620 --> 23:42.420
It's wider than my drill bit.

23:42.420 --> 23:45.580
I don't think it's been drilled at all.

23:45.580 --> 23:46.580
It's sort of melted.

23:46.580 --> 23:47.580
Here's a sack, sir.

23:47.580 --> 23:50.580
Oh, well, just dump them there, will you?

23:50.580 --> 23:53.580
Have you got a pencil, sir?

23:53.580 --> 23:54.580
Thank you.

23:54.580 --> 23:58.580
I don't think it goes right through.

23:58.580 --> 23:59.580
No?

23:59.580 --> 24:00.580
It stops.

24:00.580 --> 24:11.580
Have you any idea where they go, your boss and Professor Quatermass?

24:11.580 --> 24:13.860
No, I've tried the museum.

24:13.860 --> 24:14.860
They aren't there.

24:14.860 --> 24:15.860
Oh, you're ahead of me there.

24:15.860 --> 24:16.860
Something bad?

24:16.860 --> 24:19.060
Look, will you do something for me?

24:19.060 --> 24:20.060
Get out of here, please.

24:20.060 --> 24:21.060
Hurry up and get that drill clear.

24:21.060 --> 24:22.060
I'll do me best, sir.

24:22.060 --> 24:23.060
Look out!

24:23.060 --> 24:24.060
It's through.

24:24.060 --> 24:44.700
In the winter of the year 1341, the abbot of Westminster...

24:44.700 --> 24:47.820
Oh, damn, my Latin's gone.

24:47.820 --> 24:49.980
The abbot of Westminster stro...

24:49.980 --> 24:52.300
No, struggled against...

24:52.300 --> 24:55.020
Against an outbreak of evil?

24:55.020 --> 24:58.420
At Hobbs Lane in the village of Knightsbridge.

24:58.420 --> 25:02.220
Oh, that's Knightsbridge, 14th century style.

25:02.220 --> 25:03.860
Imps, yes?

25:03.860 --> 25:04.860
Right.

25:04.860 --> 25:07.540
And demons did appear.

25:07.540 --> 25:11.420
Foul noises sent by the devil.

25:11.420 --> 25:12.420
What's that?

25:12.420 --> 25:16.740
It would sorely afflict the charcoal burners that have lately come there.

25:16.740 --> 25:18.500
Charcoal burners?

25:18.500 --> 25:24.500
They'd be felling trees, heavy ones.

25:24.500 --> 25:27.100
In 1762, a well was being dug.

25:27.100 --> 25:29.420
In 1927, a new tube extension.

25:29.420 --> 25:33.060
And now, do you see?

25:33.060 --> 25:37.860
They're all disturbances of the ground.

25:37.860 --> 25:39.180
Did you spot this?

25:39.180 --> 25:42.540
It has long been known as a troubled place.

25:42.540 --> 25:45.220
In 1341?

25:45.220 --> 25:56.500
Hey, wait for me!

25:56.500 --> 25:59.660
You make out anything, sir?

25:59.660 --> 26:00.660
I'm not sure.

26:00.660 --> 26:01.660
There's nothing bulky, no explosion.

26:01.660 --> 26:02.660
Well, then it's not a warhead.

26:02.660 --> 26:03.660
Do you mind if I look, sir?

26:03.660 --> 26:04.660
No, let's get moving.

26:04.660 --> 26:05.660
Right.

26:05.660 --> 26:09.660
Sergeant!

26:09.660 --> 26:10.660
Captain Potter!

26:10.660 --> 26:11.660
The fools!

26:11.660 --> 26:12.660
What do they think they're trying to do?

26:12.660 --> 26:13.660
Didn't Potter tell them?

26:13.660 --> 26:14.660
He tried to, but something's happened.

26:14.660 --> 26:15.660
Look, General Breen's in there.

26:15.660 --> 26:16.660
He'll explain, sir.

26:16.660 --> 26:17.660
Now, Sladden, where are you?

26:17.660 --> 26:18.660
Oh, Sladden.

26:18.660 --> 26:19.660
Look, we want to use some of your gear in a different way.

26:19.660 --> 26:20.660
Now, look here, Breen.

26:20.660 --> 26:21.660
Wait a minute.

26:21.660 --> 26:22.660
Look at this.

26:22.660 --> 26:23.660
How did you do it?

26:23.660 --> 26:24.660
It just appeared.

26:24.660 --> 26:25.660
I suppose if I put it in my pocket, it would just appear.

26:25.660 --> 26:26.660
I suppose it would.

26:26.660 --> 26:27.660
I suppose it would.

26:27.660 --> 26:28.660
I suppose it would.

26:28.660 --> 26:29.660
I suppose it would.

26:29.660 --> 26:30.660
I suppose it would.

26:30.660 --> 26:31.660
I suppose it would.

26:31.660 --> 26:32.660
I suppose it would.

26:32.660 --> 26:33.660
I suppose it would.

26:33.660 --> 26:34.660
I suppose it would.

26:34.660 --> 26:39.660
I suppose the vibrations of the drill must have affected all this material in some way.

26:39.660 --> 26:41.660
Here, use this.

26:41.660 --> 26:46.660
When it opened, there was a rush of air inwards.

26:46.660 --> 26:47.660
Inwards?

26:47.660 --> 26:48.660
Yeah.

26:48.660 --> 26:54.660
I suppose the pressure in there was lower than here or nonexistent.

26:54.660 --> 26:59.660
Do you see anything?

26:59.660 --> 27:04.660
I'm not sure.

27:04.660 --> 27:09.660
My God.

27:09.660 --> 27:22.660
It looks like an eye.

27:22.660 --> 27:25.660
It's not moving.

27:25.660 --> 27:26.660
Did you see it move?

27:26.660 --> 27:28.660
No.

27:28.660 --> 27:30.660
What do you smell?

27:30.660 --> 27:31.660
Corruption.

27:31.660 --> 27:32.660
Decomposition.

27:32.660 --> 27:35.660
When did this open?

27:35.660 --> 27:37.660
Perhaps an hour ago.

27:37.660 --> 27:40.660
We have to be quick if we want to find anything.

27:40.660 --> 27:41.660
I've seen to that.

27:41.660 --> 27:42.660
Right, Sergeant.

27:42.660 --> 27:43.660
Stand by.

27:43.660 --> 27:44.660
But get clear, sir.

27:44.660 --> 27:45.660
Do you mind?

27:45.660 --> 27:46.660
Potter.

27:46.660 --> 27:47.660
Sir.

27:47.660 --> 27:48.660
You'd better warn your men.

27:48.660 --> 27:49.660
Things may happen.

27:49.660 --> 27:59.660
Ronnie, they're going to try to open that inner hatch cover.

27:59.660 --> 28:02.660
Did you tell them?

28:02.660 --> 28:03.660
Yes.

28:03.660 --> 28:09.660
It must have set up subjective impressions, seeing things as Wes did or hearing things

28:09.660 --> 28:11.660
as several of us did.

28:11.660 --> 28:12.660
Wes will...

28:12.660 --> 28:14.660
I don't know.

28:14.660 --> 28:17.660
He sneaked in with us.

28:17.660 --> 28:20.660
Oh, well, never mind.

28:20.660 --> 28:23.660
Listen, Jack, I can see the thing.

28:23.660 --> 28:25.660
I'm not 50 feet from it now.

28:25.660 --> 28:26.660
I don't know what it is.

28:26.660 --> 28:29.660
I don't think they do either, but they're going to open it all up.

28:29.660 --> 28:30.660
Yes.

28:30.660 --> 28:35.660
Well, they seem to be trying to unseal some sort of closed compartment.

28:35.660 --> 28:37.660
Yes, that's right.

28:37.660 --> 29:01.660
Yes.

29:01.660 --> 29:02.660
Keep moving.

29:02.660 --> 29:03.660
Right.

29:03.660 --> 29:08.660
Good work, Sergeant.

29:08.660 --> 29:15.660
All right, keep going.

29:15.660 --> 29:21.660
Oh, damn it!

29:21.660 --> 29:28.660
Got it, sir.

29:28.660 --> 29:38.660
Oh, damn it!

29:38.660 --> 30:05.660
Oh, damn it!

30:05.660 --> 30:10.660
The demons.

30:10.660 --> 30:14.660
It's all right.

30:14.660 --> 30:15.660
They're dead.

30:15.660 --> 30:43.660
They've been dead for a long time.

30:43.660 --> 30:50.660
Oh, damn it!
